A-listers 'not willing' to star with Sunny Leone

The makers of Sunny Leone’s Ek Paheli Leela have claimed that many actors have refused to be a part of the film in which the former adult star had already been signed on to play the lead role of Leela, according to a recent report.

The report quotes Bobby Khan – director of the flick – as saying, “Many big actors and known faces were approached for the film. They loved the script, but they refused it because Sunny hails from the adult film industry. It was very sad that many actors refused to do this film.”

According to the director Sunny was very sad knowing all this.

He said, “Her past life was her choice, but in India, people’s thinking is still like that…Many actors refused the film… Sunny felt bad and Daniel (Sunny’s husband Daniel Weber) told me, ‘Next time if you see an actor, I will come with you as I want to tell them that please work with my wife as she is very professional’. I felt very sad.”

The report adds that Bobby now wants Sunny to get an image makeover of sorts with his film as he claims that the character she plays is a very strong one.
